RE: Unable to run pxesconfig from a 2.6 based system?

Do you have the loop kernel module loaded?   

modprobe loop     if its not listed in lsmod output.

This results in:
# touch pxes.initrd
# mount pxes.initrd
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

Would I not need to make a file-system on it, first?
